Chris Matthews came aboard the shortened Countdown after MSNBC, unlike FNC and CNN, aired the Obama campaign's half-hour infomercial on Wednesday night, and oozed over how “it was romance. It was realism” and “most important, the connection with the average person in the economic turmoil we face right now I thought was fabulous.” Plus, the setting reminiscent of the Oval Office demonstrated “he's comfortable and we should be comfortable and will be with him in such a setting.” Bottom line for Matthews: “I thought everything was just right.”
The initial reaction from Matthews when prompted by Keith Olbermann:
I thought it was Hollywood. It was romance. It was realism. The technical quality of it, the production values were perfect, the way they timed going to live, the biographical material. But most important, the connection with the average person in the economic turmoil we face right now I thought was fabulous. Of course, there we see the setting, which is very much like an Oval Office setting, showing that he's comfortable and we should be comfortable and will be with him in such a setting. I thought everything was just right.
I thought, the most important part of it, I thought, was the biographical, showing him talking about his mom and talking about him taking a chance in history and not wanting to miss it having seen his mother die at a young age. It was very human and I think you'd have to be a tough customer not to be touched by it.
The infomercial also ran at 8 PM EDT/7 PM CDT (will run MDT/PDT) on CBS, NBC and Fox, as well as Univision, BET and TV One.

I know I've been adjured before to refrain from comments that Chris is gay, (not that there's anything wrong with it), but once again Chris Matthews baits me into the same conclusion.
I just don't think I can convince myself to talk that way about another man.

Wed, 10/29/2008 - 22:28 ET by northoneUgh...Matthews has had his lips on Obama's butt for the past two years. He used to love McCain. Then he swooned over Hillary. But it looks like it's The Chosen One who has truly stolen his heart and given him a serious case of leg tingles. It must be love (and maybe just a little bit gay!) Maybe he can guest on "Ellen" and discuss his man-crush with her.

Greek columns again
Wed, 10/29/2008 - 22:37 ET by KC MulvilleA fake Oval Office, and a scripted Obama looking comfortable in it ... you know it's all staged, right? It's not reality. Matthews expects people to be comfortable with Obama because of a staged commercial?
Let's see how comfortable he looks when everyone who comes into the office has bad news, and all the aides in the outer offices are grumbling about how it would have been better had they each been listened to, and Michelle complains that the masses are just not showing her enough deference ... and every general thinks he's a prima donna lightweight. In other words, when there ain't no easy script and reality hits. See how comfortable he looks then.
Oval office setting?
Thu, 10/30/2008 - 05:17 ET by ThisnThatDid obama really do that? Talk from a fake oval office? Just like he's president already? Such arrogance. What if Palin or McCain did this? Do you think Matthews would pass up a chance to pound Palin or McCain over this? HUBRIS!

MSNBC Ratings and Income
Thu, 10/30/2008 - 05:31 ET by ThisnThatActually, do the MSNBC ratings justify a $2M/hour advertising fee? This 1/2 hour infomercial is probably the biggest payout MSNBC has had in years. And, since it came during Matthews time slot, he probably thinks he's now the cash income king of the network.

Audition
Wed, 10/29/2008 - 21:29 ET by doug1950I did not watch the Obama telethon and I never watch Hardball as Matthews makes me ill and has for many years but I see enough of him and his comments here. I suspect he is groveling and sucking up to Obama in hopes of landing a j-o-b in the event Barry gets the job of POTUS. His gig as MSNBC is tenuous at least due to poor viewership and he is such camera whore he probably thinks he is just perfect for the job of Press Secretary for the President. Any resemblence of him being a journalist is long since gone and frankly his comments are embarrassing for anyone with even a drop of testostrone in them. In short, he creeps me the hell out.

A Little Caution
Thu, 10/30/2008 - 06:40 ET by JillCWIt just hit me and I have to get this out. Listen, remember how many laughed at Hitler before he seized power over Germany? Remember how he felt about those who laughed at him and his thugs? Remember what he did to those who laughed at him? This isn't sitting well with me at all. The Caucasian Americans and other "enemies of Barry the 'O'" could be in serious trouble if he steals this election through voter fraud.
I didn't watch Barry's infomercial. I know all I need to know about the miscreant and that he's totally UNFIT for office. All that acting (and the stuff about new vehicles for unemployed, etc. folks was great somewhere in these comments) would have churned my stomach. "O" has more teflon on him than Clinton. Maybe he's doing what Clinton was advised to do by Aristide in 1992: didn't change his underwear for a week using voodoo. I pray that all the witchcraft of the demoncrats is bound, broken, stopped!
Simply uh-MAZING
Wed, 10/29/2008 - 21:36 ET by Scout FinchChrissy had nary a critical remark about Obama's infomercial. "Hollywood" and "romance"? Of course it was, Chrissy. Thanks to professional film production techniques (Obama has the moola since he broke his campaign promise) it should look like Hollywood.
I guess all the blood was rushing too fast from his brain to....well....as Chrissy said, it was "romantic".
bleah...
Wed, 10/29/2008 - 21:36 ET by katainkentdo they not let this poor man off the set? I mean seriously, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Obama struck as nothing more than an elitist when I first heard him speak and I still feel that way but now with (as Dennis Miller said) "that creepy feeling that wont go away" attached to it.
Palin, despite what I think about her qualifications and McCain's reasoning for choosing her has got to be, hands down the one person on this campaign with whom I identify at all. Even Hillary, as a woman, struck me as wealthy, snobbish and disconnected from the reality of being an 'average person'.
I cleaned litter boxes instead
Wed, 10/29/2008 - 21:38 ET by oilcanSo, did he say anything of substance? Did he come clean on where the income line is drawn? 250k, 200k, or 150? What about Social Security, is he going to privatize it? What about FOCA? Is he going to push it through in his first 100 day? What military spending cuts will he incorporate? Oh, I get it, it was a Ronco commercial. Oh well,
I figured it was a good time to go through the house and take care of my houselhold kitty's. When it comes to redistributing the wealth, they're the full recipients of my income. I can't seem to get a green card much less a work permit for them yet. Maybe one day I'll have Acorn come over and register my gang to vote. If Barry is in office, then I shouldn't have a problem getting them all their own drivers licenses and , , , Hmm, I'll be a five unit household and should rake in the welfare, I mean income credit checks, err, vouchers.

Ok in all honesty I didnt watch it ... why would I watch a 30 minute infomercial when I flip the channel in a 30 second spot ...as this election has progressed I find myself not able to stomach the news as much and I find myself watching the dog whisperer more and more ... he might make a good president .. he could rub the belly of the President of Iran or Putin and calm them right down
My inappropriate reaction
Wed, 10/29/2008 - 21:41 ET by krendlerOf course, there we
see the setting, which is very much like an Oval Office setting,
showing that he's comfortable and we should be comfortable and will be
with him in such a setting.
I didn't realize that that was how I was supposed to react, that the intent was to make me feel comfortable seeing Barack standing inside of a faux Oval Office. If I'd known that ahead of time I wouldn't have rolled my eyes, turned off the set and taken the dogs out for a walk.
Still, it's good to know Obama showed that he's comfortable reading a teleprompter in an Oval Office erected on some sound stage. That has to count for something.
I thought it was Hollywood. It was romance. It was realism. The
technical quality of it, the production values were perfect, the way
they timed going to live, the biographical material.
For some reason, this statement reminds me of Shelly Long flattering Rupert Pupkin in the movie King of Comedy in order to get him out of the office.
Matthews is officially embarrassing to watch. Even hard core libs must feel uncomfortable watching him. He's like the guy at work, staring at the photo of your family on your desk, who goes on too long and too enthusiastically about how attractive your daughter is.
FAKE Oval Office
Thu, 10/30/2008 - 13:42 ET by DeskpilotIf the fake styrofoam Greek columns weren't enought, now Obama's mistress has her union carpenters build him a fake office deep in the HARPO studios in Chicago. Wonder if those carpenters included the (alleged) side door peep-hole so that CM could see BO from up close.
(For those of you in Rio Linda, HARPO is Oprah spelled the backwards)
Question, did the campaign or the DNC pay those union wages, or did HARPOonable donate that expense to the campaign and voilate McCain-Feingold campaign finance election laws about donations?

Just another example
Wed, 10/29/2008 - 22:35 ET by JayJay123of how he will spend money. After all the 'free' coverage he got from MSM, free support from hollywood, he blows another 4 million + on an infomercial. He's raised $600 million and willing to blow it all. That sure is fiscal responsibility.
He says that he wants to be straight with the American people so, why are you hiding your birth records, academic transcripts? Why do you ban tv stations for asking real questions? Why won't ABC release the video? How did you really pay for your Columbia and Harvard education? Who really wrote "Dreams from my father"? Who is your father? Why did Corsi get kicked out of Kenya? Why were you campaigning in Kenya for your uncle who is responsible for a massacre there?
Conspiracy theories? Maybe, but you can easily erase any doubt by just coming clean but he won't so let the conspiracy theories stand!

Can't take this away
Wed, 10/29/2008 - 22:37 ET by TexndocAs much as I loathe this man now, there was a time I didn't, and he didn't offend the senses. As I recall, he's an ex-cop. He used to have a bit-of-the-Giuliani in him. Then he found his one true love, and he's unrecognizable as a journalist a large number of the public don't look at now and laugh. He goes to bed each night knowing "Meet the Press" would have been his baby if he had played things right and pretended one ounce of impartiality or fairness for the other side's opinion and kept his tingle to himself. You can't take that away from his haters. Ha-ha, idiot.
Sorry I missed it, but..........
Wed, 10/29/2008 - 22:39 ET by northoneDamn! I missed the 30-minute infomercial. Tell me, aside from the scripted BS spewing from his mouth, did any of the following take place?
Did Obama walk on water?
Did Obama part the seas?
Did angels descend from heaven and sing to Obama?
Did Obama sit and have dinner with any of his disciples?
Was Obama bathed in the warm light from heaven, and did he sprout wings in the middle of his sermon?
Did Obama take a vow of poverty and agree to give up his multi-million dollar mansion in Chicago?
Did Obama promise he would one day be resurrected and save each and every one of us from ourselves as he goes about redistributing the wealth?
Just wondering..............................

Wed, 10/29/2008 - 23:11 ET by northoneDrudge has a link to an article in the Times-Online. Saint Obama's aunt, Zeituni Onyango, 56, "lives in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston." According to the article, she is "out of work and without much money".
Will Obama's wealth-redistribution plan include confiscating earned money from working Americans in order to dole out money to his poor aunt so that she no longer has to rely on playing Lotto tickets to earn a living??

The Whiteness of Obama's Telemercial???
Wed, 10/29/2008 - 23:18 ET by Lame CherryThis is just a basic synopsis of the Obama day parade which delayed the World Series.
Strangely,
the television commercial Barack Obama featured white Barack Obama,
white folks who looked like they only watch Oprah Winfrey all day and
white politicians.
With so many Hispanics in America, why is it they don't deserve a blurb in 30 minutes?
What
about black people in America, why is it they were dumped by the side
of the road in not being good enough to appear with Barack Hussein
Obama?
There were not Indians, native or Asian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabs or anyone else being featured.
Frankly,
on ABC's Nightline with Terri Moran, they are showing an Obama rally.
Guess who gets on the stage as photo ops behind Barack Obama?
White people.
Guess who they show as the majority of people are his crowds?
Black people.
I
can't speak for black Americans, but I would like them to answer just
why is it that they accept being seated in the back seat of the bus by
this entire Obama campaign as not good enough to be on stage?
Perhaps
part of it is Fritz Wurzel who works for the Zogby polling service
which I watched on BBC after the 4 million dollar event.
Wurzel is
Zogby's chief propaganda spokesman and that is the glaring reason of
what is wrong with all polling in America as there wasn't an ounce of
honesty in this shill. He works for Barack Obama and this white guy
Fritz is who was behind the whitification of Barack Obama in the event.
Fritz
stated the message was to reach people "who were not political". I will
translate that to what Fritz was really saying to the BBC.
Translation
from the Zogby propagandist: Obama wanted to reach the stupid people
who could not tell you if Sarah Palin is Barack Obama's Vice
Presidential choice or not.
I don't know who should be more
angered over the Obama event, if it should be black people shoved off
the stage to stand in the crowd or fat white people who Obama says are
too stupid to know anything and can be bought with a 30 minute Obama
blitz.
For the lily whites of ABC Nightline who seem to not have
an idea about hiring minorities, but enjoy the idea of pushing a white
Obama onto the White House, there is a Zogby racism in this which notes
exactly what is wrong with the polls and Obama.
Obama is a
racist. Zogby is a racist along with Fritz. Fat Cynthia McFadden is a
racist. (No one has told me yet why all these liberal female Obama
mauls are all putting on 30 pounds in supporting him.)
These polls
are geared to contacting people who do not screen their calls, will run
and pick up the phone, have no life so they are sitting at home and are
so starved for attention they will talk to anyone.
Voila the fat white folks in Obama's campaign commercials as the black people are shoved off the stage into the street.
This
is the class of people who the polls are asking questions. They are
always 10 to 15 percent off, because most of these people are what
Zogby let slip and what Obama in his target ad was after, the stupid
fat white people who have no lives.........meaning they don't know what
day it is to vote, don't care what day it is as they would rather eat
chips and watch Oprah after taking a nap all day.
Yeah white ABC
has token Vicki Mayberry doing parrot stories for the black view and
yeah white Obama has that black woman he married, but Zogby really
screwed up tonight in letting Fritz out on the BBC as he revealed the
entire game plan which cost Obama over 200 million in polling price
alone.
The black reporter gets the talking parrot and the white
boy gets the talking Obama talking to people with parrot declared
intelligence.
The Obama campaign is all about race and Zogby told the insult of what Obama has been up to under their liberal manipulation.
Black voters don't count according to Obama and white voters do.
Asians, Latinos, Indians, Chinese, Japanese, you don't even get on the stage to get shoved off.
The amazing racism of the Obama campaign ABC promotes.

Thu, 10/30/2008 - 13:39 ET by DeskpilotThe Great white display is necessary only because Obama and his ego-boosting pollsters know that 97% of high density urban area, ACORN registered people from the last several elections are already are tallied in his colomn in EVERY contestable state. Axlerod is only interested in the swing voters. Most of them are white.
Was the deep, unlawful influence of HYPNOSIS (see EGOManiac above) further enhanced by that FAKE OVAL OFFICE? The Only thing missing was the Presidential flag. Hopefully, (a) he will NEVER know what that flag feels, or looks like, and (b) the only time he ever sees the Oval Office is when Presidnet McCain might choose to invite him over for an arm twisting session on a tax cutting bill, or legislation to build a Nuclear Power plant in Illinois.

Is Obama the One?
Thu, 10/30/2008 - 08:33 ET by Retired GeekOne thing Barack Hussein Obama made 'Crystal Clear' in his speech on wednesday, he makes 'Slick Willy' look like an amateur when it comes to lofty rhetoric!
The speech hit almost all of the 'Hot Buttons' that his followers wanted to hear, without any specificity of how those 'Catch Phrases' will be accomplished.
The essence of Obama remains the same, 'anything you want is Obama Change and everything you feel is Obama Hope'.
Obama has convinced himself, the MSM and his followers that America is without 'Hope' unless Obama can 'Change' America.
The underlying 'Obama Principle' is about rewarding failure and punishing success.
Obama believes that 'those less equal' shall become 'equal', typical Marxist rhetoric.
Obama like most Marxists, believe the only reason that Marxism has failed miserably anywhere it has been tried, is because the wrong person has led the 'Revolution' and Obama believes he is the 'One' to finally accomplish Marxisim.
Major differences
Thu, 10/30/2008 - 14:07 ET by doug1950Between Obama and Bill C.
Obama is "the One" the anointed one while Bill was "Big Daddy" who lives up in de big House. Obama is above the little people while Bill was shucks, just a good ole boy what done good fer hisself, your regular old wenching and golfing buddy.
Obama and Marx - Same Slogan
Thu, 10/30/2008 - 08:53 ET by Retired GeekObama says "Sacrifice for the Common Good".
Marx said "From Each According to his ability, to each according to his need".
One need not be old to recognize failures that have been tried before.
One only needs to know history and have logic and reason that is not warped by ideology.
There are many 'flavors' of Marxism - socialism, nazism, fascism, maoism etc all required a collectivist society and participation by all.
All have more similarities than differences - all have been tried and failed for the same basic reason.
Coercion on those who do not wish to participate.
The attempts to force individuals who do not wish to participate in collectives have resulted in over 100,000,000 deaths.
Collectivism is not compatible with the free will of the individual or individual rights such as private property, self determination and the right to pursue individual happiness.
What coercion will be used against Catholic hospitals or Doctors and Nurses that do not wish to participate in Obama's Universal Healthcare and Universal Abortion?
What coercion will be used against those who own companies and do not wish to give them up?
Fairness under the US Constitution and Bill of Rights demands that evey individual citizen have the same rights as every other individual - no more and no less.
If you want a 'fair' country start protesting anyone or anything that have rights that 'all citizens' do not have, like Affirmative Action and Corporate Welfare - demand justice for all.

This huge waste of money and fraud perpetrated by the OBAMA campaign is just a sample of the fraud and waste coming if OBAMA wins. Acorn will be organizing our communities to parrott the party line and bow to THE ONE just like in Venezuela, Russia and China! The opposition gets burried and harrassed into submission.
Just look at what was done to Joe the Plumber here in Ohio. The powers of State were abused for political ends!
